Samenvatting
Exploration of the relationship between culture and politics as played out in the world of novels, television, museums and fashion in the United States. The authors examine the arts in relation to democracy and consider whether and how they serve one another. Politics and the arts are at the centre of today's culture wars in the U.S. Politicians and government institutions regularly forbid exhibitions of 'offensive' art, or withdraw grants. |
